Selecting the right garage size is an important step that shapes both the functionality and long-term value of your property. Whether you need a space for one vehicle, multiple cars or a dedicated workshop, it’s worth taking the time to plan carefully.
At The Shed Company, every garage is individually designed to suit your site and how you intend to use it. We use quality Australian materials and site-specific engineering to deliver a structure that performs and lasts.
Getting your garage size right comes down to more than just counting cars. It helps to think about how you move through the space so you’re not squeezing past vehicles or struggling to store tools and garden gear. Overhead clearance is another important factor, as the roof pitch and roller door height can affect how much usable space you have inside.
If you’re tight on space, even small adjustments in width or depth can make the garage far more functional. A few extra centimetres on either side can be the difference between a squeeze and a smooth fit.
Below is a quick guide to the garage sizes most requested by our customers at The Shed Company.

| Double Garage | 6m x 6m x 3m |
| Triple Garage | 7m x 12m x 3m |
| Custom/Multi-Bay | Designed to suit your space |
Most of our garage designs can be adjusted in width, length, and height to suit your property, vehicles, and how you plan to use the space.
